PaddingtonPaddington is currently one of the real buzz suburbs. An influx of many strong buyers with very few homes available is really driving up the prices. Alongside the demand, block sizes are usually smaller however homes are being renovated or designed to the highest quality taking advantage of the sloping blocks and creating some amazing architectural masterpieces. The ease of maintenance, just being able to move straight in and the proximity to the CBD makes this the go to suburb for executive families and professional couples.

Ashgrove is a traditional Brisbane suburb: hilly, leafy and filled with character. Ashgrove is a traditional Queensland ‘timber and tin’ suburb, with generous Queenslanders, elevated post- war wooden homes and colonial cottages. Between the two World Wars, another style of housing became popular in this area: an elevated bungalow-style Queenslander with several smaller gables and a large staircase leading up to the verandah – a style which became known as The Ashgrovian.

Right from its establishment, Ashgrove has been a place for families which makes up 62% of the population with a large number of parks and sporting grounds, as well as pockets of native bushland giving Ashgrove the green, leafy ambience this suburb is famous for.

A city fringe suburb, filled with terrace homes and cafes. Such a variety of people and homes scattered throughout. You can have an original workers cottage right next door to a renovated prestige home. It has a socio-economic demographic of owner residents, while maintaining its hip street cred with bars, excellent restaurants, funky shops. Raised higher than the CBD (Thus the HILL part of the name) it is often cooler than the city and gets some great views. House prices are what you would expect being right next door to the CBD but your return is pretty much guaranteed. An excellent suburb, in the heart of things, but still with heart.

Spring HillTightly held Spring Hill has seen several off market sales due to very specific buyer requirements not met in the surrounding suburbs. This suburbs offers such a fantastic proximity to the city with a mix of different style terrace homes either ready to move into or to be fully renovated. On the open market, homes are taking a little longer to sell. The active market is seeking either very price relative homes or larger blocks in the adjoining suburbs. As these markets are being pushed up in price, buyers are realising Spring Hill offers very good value.
